Me! Cleaner!.

Chapter 521: Let bygones be bygones and No. 0

"You in the end..."

"Father."

Before the handsome middle-aged man could finish his question, Prince Andre called out to him, then stepped onto the podium, snatched the hour scepter from him, and turned to walk towards the seat belonging to the queen.

"Be bold!"

Seeing that the hour scepter representing the king's status was taken away, not only did the handsome middle-aged man suddenly widen his eyes, but the people in the main hall were also in an uproar, and they all started to scold and scold with anger in their eyes.

"Stop it! Do you know what you are doing?"

"Maniac! You are not qualified to touch that thing!"

"Put down the scepter!"

"Guards! Where are the guards? Come in and catch him!"

What a hassle...

Prince Andrei's ears were hurt by the shouting in the main hall, and he subconsciously wanted them to shut up.

Unfortunately, Filia was captured, so Atifi 01 was not with him this time, and he no longer had the ability to forcibly shut down these guys. Prince Andre could only sigh, holding the hour hand scepter and walked to the queen, extending his empty hand to her.

"Mother, can you give me the minute hand scepter?"

Looking at the hand in front of her, the queen was stunned for a moment, then said with confusion:

"Who are you? Why do you look so much like my Andre?"

"I am Andre, mother."

The queen seemed to be more patient than the king. Amid the noisy shouting and cursing in the main hall, Prince Andre patiently explained:
"Just think of me as someone who came from more than a decade ago. Now I need to use your scepter to do something. Can you give me the thing?"

"I'm afraid this... isn't a good idea?"

After a slight hesitation, the queen, who looked quite young and not much older than Andre, tightly grasped the scepter in her hand and shook her head:

"The minute staff is a very important thing. You can't just give it to anyone. Even if you are really my Andre, you must have a reasonable reason. Also, how could you treat your father like this? Return the staff to him quickly, otherwise, he will..."

Oh...it's really troublesome. I should have just thrown the scepter upstairs instead of putting it here.

After sighing helplessly again, Andre ignored the queen's words, but stood up and walked to the seat of the handsome middle-aged man. After groping for a while, he found a clock with a strange scale and simply bent all the pointers to the end.

"Click."

As the mechanism successfully fell into place under the push of the spring, the originally noisy main hall suddenly became quiet.

When Andre left his seat and reappeared in front of the handsome middle-aged man, the king, who was still wearing the same clothes but looked more than ten years older, suddenly showed a look of relaxation.

"Andre, so you are here."

After smiling at Prince Andrei, the old king smiled and said:
"Today is the day you take the throne. As long as you take the scepter from me, you will be the next king of the Kingdom of Korok. Come on, let me... Eh? What happened to my scepter..."

"Thank you, father. I'll take the things."

After responding expressionlessly, Prince Andre quickly walked back to the queen's seat, and before she could react, he snatched the minute hand scepter. Then he carried the two scepters down the platform and walked towards the metal spiral staircase on the side of the main hall.

As if they were stunned by the "Prince seizing the scepter" scene, everyone in the seats in the main hall looked at Prince Andre's back in amazement. No one dared to speak. In the end, the old king slammed the armrest and said angrily:

"Stop! Andrei! What do you want to do?"

"..."

"Andre! Are you going to rebel against me?"

"..."

"Speak! What on earth do you want to do with my scepter?" "..."

However, no matter how the old king questioned him, Prince Andrei remained silent, carrying two scepters up the spiral staircase, and walked quickly upwards, turning a deaf ear to the king, until...

"You're going to see your so-called sister again? The real Felia is already dead! She's a part of Atifi now! Wake up!"

"..."

As if some key words were triggered, after hearing the old king's roar, Prince Andre's steps suddenly stopped, then he turned around and glared at the old king, as if he had a lot of resentment that he wanted to spit out.

But seeing that no matter how angry the old king was, he could not really stand up and could only sit on the throne and roar at him, he could not help but smile at himself, shook his head, retracted his gaze, and walked out of the main hall along the metal spiral staircase.

However, even though he had left the main hall, the old king's extremely angry roars could still be heard from below from time to time.

"Andre!"

"You beast! Get back here!"

"You...you come back! As my last son! As long as you come back, I can choose to let bygones be bygones..."

Things have come to this, why are you still saying that you will let bygones be bygones?

After shaking his head slightly, the metal spiral staircase under Prince Andre's feet slowly rose, taking him all the way to the top floor of the palace, where he came to a huge clock more than three meters high, with only the second hand ticking.

After taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, Prince Andre took the scepter he had snatched from the king and queen, put it around the exposed axis in the center of the clock, and buckled it to the corresponding position on the dial according to the current time.

"Click."

There was a crisp sound of the mechanism falling into place, and when the two scepters touched the dial, the huge clock more than three meters high retreated backwards, and then rolled to the right clockwise, revealing the secret room behind it.

"Brother Andre?"

Before Prince Andrei could even enter the room, the sound coming from inside made him shudder all over.

Sadness, surprise, pain, disbelief... A weak voice that sounded exactly the same as that of a certain Princess Filia, but with completely different emotions, suddenly rang out in the dark secret room.

"Are you here to turn me off this time?"

"..."

"Don't imitate her voice!"

After a few seconds of silence, Prince Andre said with disgust:

"Atifi, I'm warning you one last time. If you really don't want to be shut down, don't do this to me again!"

"Ok."

Hearing Prince Andre's warning, the voice in the secret room chuckled, and then changed to a familiar female voice, saying softly:

"What about the Queen's voice? Of all the voices I've used, hers relaxes you the most. Your patience is the best at this time, and you easily give in to me."

"it's up to you."

Prince Andre seemed too lazy to argue with "Atifi" about this issue. He snorted and said unkindly:
"Take out your core. I'm going to take it to Research Area No. 1!"

"Oh why?"

The voice in the room heard this and said curiously:

"Although Atifi 01 was created by me, the maximum computing power that my imperfect prototype 0 can control is not much, only less than one twelfth of 01. Since there is already 01 that is better than me, why do you still want to take the risk of using me?"

"Because Filia has been captured and her whereabouts are unknown for the time being, but I need her to do something."

Prince Andre seemed to have no good feelings towards this "Atifi" who used his mother's voice. He said expressionlessly:
"So I'm going to re-activate you, mobilize the computing power of Atifi 01, temporarily control the entire Korok Kingdom, and find Filia as soon as possible. If you really can't find her, then make me another 01!"
